Sometimes they can be interchangeable but sometimes they cannot. It depends on the context.

I typically use strain for physical descriptions or for a relationship. For example, “those stretches really strained my back.” Or “I found out he lied and it put a strain on our relationship.”

I typically use stress as an emotion or for emphasis. For example, “I have an exam coming up and I’m moving soon. I’m so stressed!” Or “I can’t stress this enough, be sure to wear your seatbelt!”
